Zone System
QUOTE
The Zone System is a photographic technique for determining optimal film exposure and development, formulated by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer in 1939–1940.[1] The technique is based on the late 19th century sensitometry studies of Hurter and Driffield. The Zone System provides photographers with a systematic method of precisely defining the relationship between the way they visualize the photographic subject and the final results. Although it originated with black and white sheet film, the Zone System is also applicable to roll film, both black and white and color, negative and reversal, and to digital photography.
Basically, its the basis of HDR photography, it started out in the B&W format because it was very difficult to achieve the quality because during analogue film they had to develop the pictures with alot of different chemicals.
Example of Ansel Adam's work:
piccar. He also has full colour work produced using the zone system, and they're quite amazing as well.
Digital processes to produce similar results have only begun to develop, and even current HDR processing programs are hard-pressed to replicate it because of the huge amount of light information in the images.
